Set against a chilly New York City backdrop, The Kindness of Strangers follows a quartet of lives entwined by circumstance, fear, and small mercies. A nurse, a writer, a young man in transition, and a father-figure navigate loneliness, financial strain, and heartache as they search for connection amid a city that never ceases to test them. Lone Scherfig stitches their parallel stories into a quiet, hopeful portrait of resilience, generosity, and the fragile threads that bind strangers together.
